The easiest way is to find a used Mattel vacuform. While the parts will need to be small, one can make model from assembly of smaller parts.
Second way is to buy book by Doug Walsh on making your own vacuform machine for making larger parts.
I once took the trouble of making a female vacuum forming mold. The results were very nice, but I found out later that the master wasn't correct. This page shows a few photos, about halfway:
